Develop Multiplatform Projects in Kotlin
summary
Kotlin 1.2 adds concrete multiplatform support: Gradle plugins compile common modules with platform modules, using expect/actual declarations to link platform APIs. Demonstrated libraries include kotlinx.html for isomorphic HTML rendering reused on server and client, and kotlinx.serialization generating JSON without reflection. Coroutines run on all targets. Kotlin/Native uses LLVM, per-thread heaps with reference counting and frozen objects for cross-thread data, and cinterop generates Objective‑C bindings. Demos run end-to-end: server + client rendering, JVM and JS tests, and shared logic on Android and iOS.
